retirement village residents

New Zealand

In New Zealand (NZ), a nation where low-density detached housing predominates, a major societal shift has seen moving into a retirement village (RV) becoming a popular accommodation and lifestyle option for older people. The conglomerate nature of RVs provides opportunities to offer health/support services on site. Perhaps one in eight people aged 75+ years live in RVs, yet information is scant. This survey describes the demographics, social supports and health/disability needs of RV residents in Auckland/Waitemata District Health Board regions.
